Renamed ConfigParser to configparser.
Merged revisions 63247-63248 via svnmerge from svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/trunk ........ r63247 | georg.brandl | 2008-05-14 18:30:31 -0400 (Wed, 14 May 2008) | 2 lines Update configparser docs for lowercasing rename. ........ r63248 | alexandre.vassalotti | 2008-05-14 18:44:22 -0400 (Wed, 14 May 2008) | 8 lines Updated import statements to use the new `configparser` module name. Updated the documentation to use the new name. Revert addition of the stub entry for the old name. Georg, I am reverting your changes since this commit should propagate to py3k. ........

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The configuration file format understood by :func:`fileConfig` is based on
-ConfigParser functionality. The file must contain sections called ``[loggers]``,
-``[handlers]`` and ``[formatters]`` which identify by name the entities of each
-type which are defined in the file. For each such entity, there is a separate
-section which identified how that entity is configured. Thus, for a logger named
-``log01`` in the ``[loggers]`` section, the relevant configuration details are
-held in a section ``[logger_log01]``. Similarly, a handler called ``hand01`` in
-the ``[handlers]`` section will have its configuration held in a section called
-``[handler_hand01]``, while a formatter called ``form01`` in the
-``[formatters]`` section will have its configuration specified in a section
-called ``[formatter_form01]``. The root logger configuration must be specified
-in a section called ``[logger_root]``.
